Good nutrition starts with smart selections at the supermarket. Cooking healthy meals is a challenge if you don't have the right ingredients in your kitchen. The process starts even before you head to the grocery store. Before you set out for shopping, plan your meals for the week, and craft a list to shop from. Base your list on a balanced diet plate that is, consider the proportion of fruits, vegetables, grains, milk (calcium-rich foods), meat and beans (protein-rich foods). It takes just a few minutes, and saves time in running back to the store for missing ingredients. Utilize the Nutrition Facts panel on the food label to guide you to make healthy choices. It helps you compare foods before you purchase them. Do not believe everything you read. Many brands try to look nutritious by printing “low fat” or “less sugar” and even natural“” on their labels. Don't forget that your local farmers market is a great place for finding healthy foods.
Remember: You have the power of choice at the supermarket…MAKE THE CHOICES!!!
